will do, later tonight

Colony ships can now colonize a planet if the colonists on board would be comfortable there, even if the owning faction's race would not. borrowing this quote from developer's updates playing Tinkers I met Phidi, got their welcome package of 1 free phidi population... quickly setup production of co...

However, there are some eyebrow-raising edge cases (like the +100 damage laser attack), where the Orthin appear to have figured out how to route *massive* amounts of excess energy through a very modest weapon system. I am still trying to figure out if I like it this way or should I mod it to someth...

EDIT: renamed the thread, also can it please be moved to mods area ? thanks

shield absorbtion set to 15, each spitter does 0 damage

shield absorbtion set to 10, each spitter does 15-10=5 damage only, 4x5=20 damage, 10 and 10 on the picture

vanilla shields, Harpies have 2 hardpoints with 2 spiters each doing 15 damage each, i.e. 2 x 30 damage

I think I got it, it was actually fairly simple, I still need to test it more, to make sure there are no hidden issues

add following for any shield in SYSTEMS.lua (XX is amount of damage per weapon fired at it, shield should absorb)

this came out of nowhere ... not sure what it is, when it was implemented ... but I just love it

Do not recommend going down the path of modifying hardpoint type or mountable weapons: ignoring the progaramming implications it would open up a whole can of issues with visual representation (where heavy and medium mounted weapons are visible) plus how the AI would handle such sitations (not the b...

um, it's not a mod i'd suggest trying yourself unless you're quite fluent with lua though -- hacking this capability into the current datastructures would be a delicate job. yeah, if nothing else, the time I would need to properly do it goes beyond what my schedule allows ... and I rather not menti...

fleet base ... never got an option to interact with it the same way as if I capture enemy ship, cannot give it to my scientists to extract and reverse engineer those pesky vindicators orbiting Tinker's mobile base ... it is not treated as a ship and the same happened as with fleet base, no dialog bo...

I think MOO worked something like, each ship class had total mass of equipment you can add there, there wasn't equivalent of hardpoints (not direct one for sure, there was limited amount of slots, but that was maybe more UI limit) ... if you equipped less that total mass, your ship was faster ... th...
